Could you build this?
No Autonomous desktop assistants that control OS-level browser and desktop workflows in parallel require deep computer-use vision-action models, native OS accessibility integrations, and secure local execution infrastructure.
What it would actually take: Requires native OS hooks (Windows API / macOS Accessibility API) to capture screens, track window handles, and inject synthetic input without interfering with the active user. It demands high-performance local multi-agent orchestration, fast visual grounding models (like UI-TARS or specialized vision-action models), and robust handling of race conditions across parallel background sessions.
